| III. Instructional Processes*: | |||||||||
| Students will: | |||||||||
| 1. | Learn in a cooperative mode by working in small groups with other students and exchanging ideas within each group (or sometimes collectively) while being coached by the instructor who provides assistance when needed. Communication Outcome, Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome, Active Learning Strategy | ||||||||
| 2. | Learn by being a problem solver rather than being lectured. Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome, Active Learning Strategy | ||||||||
| 3. | Explore and seek solutions to given problems that measures his/her level of accomplishment. Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome, Personal Development Outcome, Active Learning Strategy | ||||||||
| 4. | Visit industry sites or will be visited by a person from industry who applies the concepts being learned at his/her work site. Transitional Strategy | ||||||||
| 5. | Gradually be given higher- and higher-level problems to promote his/her critical thinking ability. Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome, Personal Development Outcome | ||||||||
| 6. | Be tested more frequently for progress assessment while working independently on test problems. Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome | ||||||||
| 7. | Engage in learning processes such as projects, mentoring, apprenticeships, and/or research activities as time allows. Communication Outcome, Active Learning Strategy, Transitional Strategy | ||||||||
| 8. | Use computers with appropriate software during class or lab as a boost to the learning process. Information Literacy Outcome, Technological Literacy Outcome | ||||||||
| *Strategies and outcomes listed after instructional processes reference Pellissippi State’s goals for strengthening general education knowledge and skills, connecting coursework to experiences beyond the classroom, and encouraging students to take active and responsible roles in the educational process. | |||||||||

| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| Students are primarily evaluated on the basis of test/quiz type assessments and homework as outlined on the syllabus supplement distributed by the instructor. The number of tests vary from 5 to 7 at the discretion of the instructor. The percentages for quizzes and homework may vary depending on the instructor. | |||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||
| Ten experiments
are designed for the course. Each experiment requires a word-
processed report which must be at least spell-checked. Other procedures for a standard lab report will be given by your instructor. No late lab report will be accepted and there are no lab make-ups. |
|||||||||
| C. Field Work: | |||||||||
| Site Visits: The necessary site visits will be announced as the arrangements are made. Evaluation will be based on of attendance as well as the visit report. | |||||||||
| D. Other Evaluation Methods: | |||||||||
| N/A | |||||||||
| E. Grading Scale: | |||||||||
| Course
Grade = (0.75) x (Theory Grade) + (0.25) x (Lab Grade)
Theory Grade = (0.80) x (Tests + Quizzes + H.W. ) + (.20) x (Comp. Final) Lab Grade = (the sum of report grades) / (the number of the reports) 91-100 A

|||||||||
| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course. Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent. | |||||||||
